While the player has a MASSIVE ego and thinks everyone should kiss the Wardens ass and wait on his hand and feet, the rest of the world doesn't see it that way.
Not the Warden. The Warden
s. As in Duncan and his group
prior to the PC joining their ranks.
NO ONE believed it was a real Blight.
Everyone was convinced they would win the day easily. And yet you single out the Chantry here for no other reason then because you want to.
Obviously you haven't seen my defense of Loghain Mac Tir, where although I defend him I also ascribe blame to the Wardens and the Army -- in varying levels of percentage -- as to why Ostagar failed.
But the Chantry sure didn't help Ostagar have a chance at succeeding.
The Chantry didn't send Mages to help not because they believed it wasn't a Blight, but because they didn't
want many Mages at Ostagar -- something that Gregoir says and the priest at Ostagar reinforces by saying that no lives would be trusted to Uldred's spells.
Which was a good call I'd argue, but she didn't say it because Uldred and Loghain were in cahoots -- as that wasn't known until
after the events at the Circle -- but rather because she just didn't trust Mages at all.
Loghain however was given no credible reason to believe that it was a Blight, and Cailan didn't believe it simply because he hadn't seen any Dragons in the Wilds.
Loghain had sufficient reason to believe it wasn't a Blight -- wrong as it was. The Chantry actually refused the aid of Mages for a
different reason.
But it does prove that the Circles DO let proven mages out.
When they're anywhere from 50-70.
Yeah that's great.
Also note that those two were members of the most liberal Circle in Thedas, and yet we still hear about Mages having to help the populus in secret
Was that part of the city always as run down as it is now, or did it start to deteriorate once the elves were put there?
People and circumstances shape the enviroment, or so people say.
Ah, so your stance is that it was originally a decent place, but then more and more Elves led to deteriorating conditions due to less room, possible surges in crime, etc.
Well, in that case, no I do not know. So if they indeed had decent lodging that fell to **** over the centuries, that's one thing.
Not enough. You have to give ALL of your gold.
It'd be easy if the game allowed that option to exist. But you can't chastise the PC for not doing an option when that option was never available in the game itself.
But my PC also donated to the Blight Orphans -- a sham that may have been, he was not aware at first though through overheard banter knew, but kept doint it anyway -- and used his political savvy to transform Vigil's Keep and the Arling of Amaranthine into a trading hub that saw economic growth.
Along with forging alliances with the Dwarves and Ferelden, promoting trade. Which would, possibly, lead to an increase in agricultural output thanks to Dwarven engineering. But that's more headcanon/fanfiction.
Anyway, in any event where the option to donate money was, I donated money.
You can even, to my surprise, give 1000 sovereigns to the Dwarven Mistress the DN can sleep with and sire a child with, if you have the coin.
Honestly, I never knew that before.
